this hotel was not bad, but there are also disadvantages: 95% Chinese, the water in the pool is cold, only 5 sunbeds in the sun, the rest are drafty, the floors are not washed, the dust is not wiped, the towel is changed only if they are thrown on the floor. you need to have breakfast only after 9.00 when the Chinese leave, otherwise they sweep everything away like locusts and buzz.

We rested from January 20 to January 31.2014. I chose the hotel for a long time and carefully, consciously chose Crystal and was not mistaken. The check-in took place earlier than the scheduled 2 pm, the room was an ordinary superior with two huge beds, a plasma TV, a safe, a silent air conditioner, a very good shower, a kettle, a hairdryer.

We rested from January 20 to January 31.2014. I chose the hotel for a long time and carefully, consciously chose Crystal and was not mistaken. The check-in took place earlier than the scheduled 2 pm, the room was an ordinary superior with two huge beds, a plasma TV, a safe, a silent air conditioner, a very good shower, a kettle, a hairdryer. Good location of the hotel, you go out and immediately take a tuk-tuk (they go every 20-30 seconds). From the dolphins, he turns left, if you go to the first street, do not go out, they have such a ring, after driving a little, he turns onto the first street and goes to Volkin Street. Then he turns left and here you need to look if he is driving on the left side, then he will turn onto the second street and go in the opposite direction, and if he is driving on the right side, he may turn right and go to Jomtien. Now again about the hotel: I read in the reviews that the breakfasts are meager and boring, do not believe it. You have to look for such a variety of dishes. Meat, chicken, fish, minced meat for naval pasta, pasta itself, two types of rice, different soups, a lot of sauces, cabbage carcasses. , potatoes, a lot of pastries, wonderful jam of two kinds, juices, tea, coffee. For little cereal with milk. As well as watermelons, pineapples, fruit salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage and much more. Everyone didn't even get to try. I especially want to note the coffee-real brewed, not from bags. The Chinese did not bother at all, the biggest evil in Tae is the Russians. in the next room, the youth drank too much, so we thought that the whole room would be smashed. But it was the only unpleasant moment in the whole trip. Nice pools on the 8th floor and between the deluxes. Take towels for the beach at the reception, for the pool - at the bar on the 8th floor. I will also write the cons, I read about them and was ready for them, so for us they turned out to be insignificant. There are few hangers (we took the old ones with us and left them there), there are no shelves and taechka-maids are not very well cleaned. We left 20 baht for the first few days, and then they stopped us out of harm, they didn’t supply water, then toilet paper, but a call to the reception and after 5 minutes everything was in your room. Excursions were taken from Nikolai in round 7 - this is immediately after Rotan, to the left of the hotel. He has a See Dreem tour (on Calypso) highly recommended, led by three of our boys. brought to the island of Koh Pai, where they rented their own beach, the ride is only 40 minutes on the Calypso speedboat. They also took Yasha (Thai) on an Oleg tour. It's to the right of the hotel, across from 7-11. The location of the hotel is convenient not only because it is located in a quiet place, it is easy to walk from it to the Sea Garden View beach of the hotel, the entrance is free and to the Sanctuary of Truth. Before reaching the Temple of Truth, there is an Orthodox Temple on the right, in it now until February 20 are the relics of the saint. If you have any questions, ask, I'll be happy to answer. And finally, wishes: come to Thailand with a positive, leave all bad emotions and smile, believe me, everyone in Thailand will smile back at you !! ! If again in Tai, then only in Crystal !! !

The hotel consists of three buildings, so to speak a triangle. 1 main building and 2 new buildings with DELUXE rooms. There are 2 swimming pools. One with a sauna on the roof of the main building and one with a bar between the two new buildings, I would say with cool water, a friend would say with cold : ) But in the heat, this is what you need.

One with a sauna on the roof of the main building and one with a bar between the two new buildings, I would say with cool water, a friend would say with cold : ) But in the heat, this is what you need. We stayed in the new building in the DELUXE room. View from the balcony to the courtyard, the pool. The room has everything you need, which is typical for a DELUXE room. There was a balcony with a table and two wooden reclining chairs. We were a little unlucky, we got a room (room number 1208 or so they indicate (A208)) with a ramp. Well, it didn’t bother us very much, on the contrary, it covers a little from the bottom and you can’t see who is on the balcony and what they are doing. There were no insects. Well, we were immediately warned not to leave food open (including fruits), but put everything in the refrigerator. The room was cleaned every day except bed linen. According to my observations, it is simply smoothed and covered again. Well, out of 10 days, we spent only 5 nights in hotels, so we didn’t bother. The hotel staff do not speak Russian and do not understand. They seem to understand English more or less. There was one incident, if you can call it that, they locked themselves in the pool with their snacks and drinks. A bartender came up to us (poked a sign with incomprehensible inscriptions in Russian letters: D) well, it became clear that the fine was 200 baht. Well, I explained to her for a long time that everything that we brought with us, we bought in a shop, which, by the way, is located in the main building and she fell behind. When we left the hotel, there were no problems. They gave a deposit of 1000 baht and said thank you, come again.
There is only one minus (maybe a plus for someone), it is located in the Northern part on Naklua Street and it takes 10-15 minutes to get to the "dolphins" by tuk-tuk (for 10 baht), 30-40 minutes to Walkin Street depends on traffic jams , and they are almost constant. Better of course on a bike (for 80 baht), 10-12 minutes to Walkin Street. Well, that's why the price for remoteness for a hotel of this level is cheaper than in the center or the first line of about 6-9 thousand, or even more. Maybe, of course, someone welcomes the silence, tranquility, the singing of birds, but we went to Pattaya to have an active rest, to have fun. And sometimes it was very annoying remoteness from the center and the coast.

I went with my wife for the first time, impressions of a lifetime. The hotel is simply chic for us (although, in principle, Thailand is already a paradise for me, so I personally was ready to sleep in a barn, on straw, just bread and circuses).

In general, the hotel is very spacious, bright and clean room. Cleaning every day, the room has a large plasma screen with USB and Russian channels, a refrigerator with a mini bar, a safe, a hair dryer, and an excellent condo. As for insects and other reptiles (many complain), I have not seen a single one. The only thing for which I dropped one point is the staff who did not speak Russian at all (once I forgot the key card from the room in the room (I apologize for the tautology), it was very difficult to explain the situation at the reception, there was a Russian tourist who spoke excellent English well nearby), but in general, all waste. P. S. although I think in a year or two the staff will learn Russian.

The peculiarity of the hotel is that there are a lot of Chinese in it ((

Cool hotel!! ! (but we from the Urals are not spoiled by anything)!! ! Settled in 15 minutes. The room was SUPERRIOR, towels were changed and wet cleaning was done every day. Maid girls are very kind. So don't bother with DELUX (just overpay) anyway, just come to spend the night! The staff is very friendly, they immediately remember you by sight (once they forgot coupons for breakfast, so they smiled, said hello "Swat-di" and didn’t even say anything !!! ) The location of the hotel is very convenient - on the main street (I went out, immediately caught a knock - knock, and go wherever you want).

To the center (Beach Street - Walkin Street) about 20 minutes. Yes, the streets are almost everywhere dirty (even cockroaches run along the roadway - BIG, like in American films !!! ) But those who have seen the garbage dumps of their city (and this is in almost every yard) This is no longer disturbing! The people (Thais) are very kind - once they got lost, but some painters on a motorcycle with a sidecar from Sukhomvit (Ambassador Hotel area) to Naklua took us and didn’t even want to take money, but barely gave them 100 baht. We went to a Thai massage, it was very painful - but productive (it is better if they are aunties aged because. young ones just "rub" with their tits : ))) So relax in Tae and don't think about anything!! !

When buying a tour to this hotel, choose only Deluxe rooms !! ! They are located in the modern, new building of the hotel. Rooms with balconies. In the yard - a swimming pool. Upon check-in, you will immediately receive coupons for breakfast for all days of your stay.
If you have a Superior, then:
1. You are automatically placed in the old building. Neither the operator's website nor the hotel's website has this information. It is written that the difference is only in footage.
2. You will not find balconies and terraces in Superior. Windows to choose from - either on a noisy street, or on the wall of the building, which is a couple of meters from your windows.
3. You will have to beg for a coupon for breakfast every day.
4 Yes, the MOST IMPORTANT thing about Superior - There is a RISK of being settled in the worst room 3710 on the 7th floor. This room is located under the jacuzzi, which is located along with the pool on the roof of the old building (the view there, of course, is beautiful, the pool itself is also nothing)
1) . Of the features - in the room the noise of bubbling water and vibration, just near the head of the bed. The hotel staff pretends not to understand what they are talking about, pretending not to know the origin of the sounds. We hoped that the jacuzzi would be turned off for the night - they did not turn it off, although the access to the pool was closed at 20:00. Couldn't sleep at night. Used earplugs - did not help.
2). Ants were found in the room, climbed into things on the table.
3). Water left the sink for a very long time, i. e. only one can wash.
4). The shower does not switch to faucet mode, although it is there.
five). There were robes rolled up in a heap and 2 pairs of dirty slippers in the closet : ) it actually killed me.
As a result, almost the whole next day was killed in order to achieve resettlement. They refused under all sorts of pretexts, saying "come back tomorrow. " Although the newcomers that day were settled in other rooms. It was also not possible to move to the new building for an additional fee - there were no free rooms. They asked at least to turn off the jacuzzi for the night - they did not agree, although you can’t use it at night. Then the question arose that the tour operator would provide us with another hotel, and then the guide and the hotel managed to agree, we were settled in a room on the 3rd floor, overlooking the wall.
But everything worked, except for one button on the TV remote, but this is nonsense compared to everything else. There were no bathrobes and slippers. Apparently, they were the privilege of only number 3710, as compensation for everything else))).
In general, we got a chance to sleep, and this was the main thing, because. we traveled a lot and managed to sleep only 4 hours.
Yes, from room 3710, after the proceedings, we were asked to move as quickly as possible so that other poor fellows could be settled there (hello to those who had been there). Apparently, this is a passing object, which tests people for patience. Someone will go to swear, and someone will endure. But the number of the grandmother works out, so for them = everything is ok. In a good way, instead of this number it was necessary to make those. room.
The food is tolerable.
Location is ok too.
Internet - was not available for 3 days during our stay. Who really needs it - there is an Internet club nearby for 15 rubles / hour.
It took a long time to get the deposit back. I had to repeat it 5 times and wait 15 minutes. Probably, we hoped that we would leave without him, so as not to be late for the airport.
In general, I consider the SUPERIOR room fund and service to be the biggest drawback.

Crystal Palace.
The hotel as a whole is not bad, it fully corresponds to the declared 3 *, but the staff and service are unique. Never and nowhere have I seen such arrogance and impudence towards tourists.
In the first days, $500 was missing from the room. Naturally, only we ourselves are to blame here, because. all money and valuables must be stored in a safe. Having told the guide about this loss, they told us if your money was not in the safe, then you simply did not have this money. Perhaps they considered these notes as tips. But here it is obvious that theft is the money was at the bottom of the bag, wrapped in paper and in a bag. Oh well, there's no way you can prove that you had the money. After this incident, we stopped tipping the maid of unknown gender.
A few days later, coming from the beach, we were faced with the fact that our door card key stopped working. Our maid stood nearby and helped open the door. Our room was neatly cleaned. After 10-15 minutes, I went to the balcony and saw a broken huge balcony glass, ran to the reception. It was obvious that when leaving the room the glass was intact, if it were otherwise, the maid immediately informed the staff about this. When we arrived, it was already broken. Apparently, they hit it very hard when they opened the door (but believe me, it takes a lot of effort to do this) At the reception, the Russian guide asked us to wait (as a result, we sat waiting for 1.5 hours) Already it was getting dark. I approached
to the Thai guide (fortunately, I know English), went to the guards to make a report on those who came into our room). We were asked to come to the reception by 9.00 the next day. At 10:15 no one approached us. Realizing that the hotel was just chaos, we decided to report to the police. I will not describe in detail how long we spent in the hotel lobby, how long we were in the police, what kind of mood we were in. All this lasted 4 days. We were moved to a new room. After 1 day, I decided to check the check for our previous number. Our debt was 18.000 baht. This is where we just went crazy. They began to call the hotline, our guide, talked with the hotel manager. Fortunately, the issue was resolved, we were fined for the glass. But no one even apologized. 4 days of rest simply disappeared. On the hotline, they answered me (Aleksey): of course, this is an emergency, but forget about apologies, it ended very well for you.
Once at the hotel restaurant we ordered a dish for dinner for 150 baht and 120 baht. Tired of waiting, we decided to pay and ask to bring to the room. They bring a bill of about 500 baht. A dish for 120 was issued with a price of 150 baht. When we began to ask why such a price, we were told that they had added more shrimp. Spaghetti also appeared on our bill, which was not even a question. And the most surprising thing is that the restaurant staff raise their voices to the guests, they just shouted at us.
2 days before leaving, I stained the sheets. We are billed: 1000 baht. I again turned to our guide, together we went to the hotel manager. I explain to the manager that I have never seen such a hotel anywhere. everything is billed. I ask why they make me pay for the sheets? Is 1000 baht too much for putting up a stain? They ask me: will 500 suit you? (After all, laundry services, etc. ) Bottom line: I paid 500 baht.
And when leaving, they again figured out for a very long time, 20 minutes, why we did not have to pay 18.000.
Basically, it's just a zoo. The staff of this hotel needs to learn long and hard how to work with people and make their guests happy. This trip left an indelible impression on our memory.

Rested with my husband in early March 2011 (age 35-40 years).
LOCATION: The hotel is in the northern part of Pattaya, located right on Naklua Road, from there “direct” tuk-tuks go to the center, back as lucky... There are no clear routes, and if there are few passengers, they go straight from the second street directly to the first. This is not a big problem, walk a few meters and change to another tuk-tuk, that one will definitely take you home! The issue price is 10 rubles (butt) from the nose (one trip). By the time of 10 minutes drive, if there are no traffic jams on the first street. In my opinion, getting there is convenient!
Walking to the sea for 15-20 minutes, we swam on the beach of the Garden Sea View Resort 4, the beaches are municipal, so there is no problem to get to the beach. On the beach sunbeds (free of charge), shower, swimming pool, cafe. The sea is quite clean, the bottom is flat, sandy. Near the "Russian" area, many restaurants, tour agencies, etc. , focused on Russians (in the direction of Garden Sea View). A five-minute walk "Seven Eleven", mini-market.
ROOMS: the hotel consists of three buildings, 1st and 2nd - old, renovated, 3rd - new. Standard rooms, as I understand it, are located in old buildings, in the new superior and deluxe rooms. It seems to me that it is better to book them, then they will be like in the pictures on the hotel website (they can face the road, but the sea is in the same direction). The standard is simpler, plus there were problems with the sewerage (not critical, but the water from the sink did not leave well), as the guide said, this is the problem of the entire hotel. We were settled on the first floor (they could move, but bribed their own "garden" of palm trees, there were no balconies in other rooms of the old buildings). Linen and towels were changed and cleaned daily.
HOTEL in general: Reception staff very pleasant. Very affordable laundry. The breakfasts are delicious, if you wish, you can find some variety, there is everything, up to soups; with baking only tight. Massage is very inexpensive, 200 baht per hour (2 hours - 320), but in the city (towards Garden Sea View), you can find 150 per hour. There is a nice swimming pool on the roof of the new building.
IMPRESSIONS: I probably would not go to Pattaya for the second time... Smells, fuss, and general disorder. The neighborhood of expensive hotels with shacks and garbage dumps. City of contrasts!
But most excursions are from there. The CROCODILES and the rock garden were a gift from the Biblio-Globus. Interesting, you can take beautiful pictures. NONNG NOCH: also beautiful, but, it seems to me, also for photographs mainly; perhaps we were not very lucky with the guide (the tour was taken on the street). AYUTTHAYA + KWAY: also taken on the street, 3400 per person (elephant riding included). Much cheaper than the tour operator, in addition, the combination of Kwai and Ayutthaya, in my opinion, is very successful, because. Ayutthaya is on the road to Kwai. As a result, the transfer is not so tiring, the tour is very eventful. Two-day tour, includes Ayutthaya (3 temples), lunch, elephant village + rafting on small rafts, radon springs, dinner, overnight at a hotel on the river (the hotel, however, looks more like a summer house, very, very budgetary))), but in terms of functionality not so bad, clean bed, working plumbing, hot shower, fan. There was even a TV, but they didn’t check whether it works or not, because they only came to spend the night. Then breakfast, rafting on a large raft with waterfalls, then Erawan - a seven-stage waterfall. Dinner. Well, plus there are three stores, but very unobtrusively. Here the guide, Ivan, was very much in the subject! We also went to KO SAMET on our own, with an overnight stay. We also bought a transfer in a street (not Russian-speaking, almost opposite the hotel) agency (in Russian it was more expensive). 1400 for two round trip. They took a room there for 1300 (for two, it could have been cheaper, but this hotel sunk into the soul). All night the sea was noisy right under the window, and the air conditioner in the room was + taystyle + deserted beach (the sea is clean and warm, fine, almost white sand) . . and they cooked delicious food nearby! This is where I would love to go back!
RESULT: The combination of price and quality of the Crystal suited us perfectly. As well as its location (which is the most important in Pattaya, in my opinion. )
LOCATION: The hotel is in the northern part of Pattaya, located right on Naklua Road, from there “direct” tuk-tuks go to the center, back as lucky... There are no clear routes, and if there are few passengers, they go straight from the second street directly to the first. This is not a big problem, walk a few meters and change to another tuk-tuk, that one will definitely take you home! The issue price is 10 rubles (butt) from the nose (one trip). By the time of 10 minutes drive, if there are no traffic jams on the first street. In my opinion, getting there is convenient!
Walking to the sea for 15-20 minutes, we swam on the beach of the Garden Sea View Resort 4, the beaches are municipal, so there is no problem to get to the beach. On the beach sunbeds (free of charge), shower, swimming pool, cafe. The sea is quite clean, the bottom is flat, sandy. Near the "Russian" area, many restaurants, tour agencies, etc. , focused on Russians (in the direction of Garden Sea View). A five-minute walk "Seven Eleven", mini-market.
ROOMS: the hotel consists of three buildings, 1st and 2nd - old, renovated, 3rd - new. Standard rooms, as I understand it, are located in old buildings, in the new superior and deluxe rooms. It seems to me that it is better to book them, then they will be like in the pictures on the hotel website (they can face the road, but the sea is in the same direction). The standard is simpler, plus there were problems with the sewerage (not critical, but the water from the sink did not leave well), as the guide said, this is the problem of the entire hotel.
